Default RE: Lipo / Lion / A123 / or Stay with NiMH

I'm running 2 2300 A123 packs in my 35% Extra. After 4 10 minute flights I usually add 600 mah to top them off. I use the cell pro 4 and it takes about 15 minutes to charge. IMO these batteries are the only ones to use in the bigger planes. When you get into the higher torque servos it's nice to have the constant 6.6 volts and the amperage they put out is more than you'll ever need, but nice to have if you're doing a lot of snaps and radical manuvers.
